Random bots joining and instantly leaving my server

Im not sure why or how, but so far 4 accounts have gotten the IP to my private server, joined, and instantly left. I have no idea why or how this is happening if theres anything like a plugin or something doing it I would just want to know im not getting like exploiters on or something.

the plugins i have are Dynmap, Gsit, OnePlayerSleep, SimpleHomes, and StormerTPA

very confused

Private servers usually imply you’re on whitelist. IP addresses are public information so by definition if you are not on whitelist, you are a public server

Please use a paste service instead!

Paste services are more mobile friendly and easier to read than just posting a log file

because you wanna annoy server owners by spamming their consoles?

Zaid•7/15/23, 2:54 PM

isn't that what most do

Zaid•7/15/23, 2:55 PM

@Rim if ur server is private then maybe only white list the ips you want to be able to join

Zaid•7/15/23, 2:55 PM

via firewall

Zaid•7/15/23, 2:55 PM

or somethin

ProGamingDk•7/15/23, 2:55 PM

Zaid•7/15/23, 2:56 PM

Zaid•7/15/23, 2:57 PM

Zaid•7/15/23, 2:57 PM

and what benefit do you gain

Zaid•7/15/23, 2:57 PM

by spamming servers and bypassing shit

Zaid•7/15/23, 2:58 PM

Zaid•7/15/23, 2:58 PM
